WILDWOOD, NJ – The City of Wildwood does not allow the sale of cannabis a.k.a. “weed” in the City of Wildwood. There are no licenses permitted, and there are no plans to permit any.
It has come to our attention that many in our community are confused or upset about some stores within the city limits that they perceive are selling cannabis or weed. These stores are NOT selling anything with THC in it. THC is the part of the plant that can make a person “high.”
The store in question is a CBD/Delta 8 store. They are selling the hemp part of the plant which is allowed to be sold everywhere without a special license. For example, a vitamin store may also sell CBD/Delta 8 legally.
Even though New Jersey has made marijuana (with THC) legal, a business would still need to file for a special license to sell it in the City of Wildwood. Mayor Byron, Commissioner Fitzsimons, and Commissioner Mikulski are not willing to permit such licenses.
